Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flooring material comprising board shaped floor elements which are intended to be joined vertically.
- Prefabricated floor boards which are provided with tongue and groove at the edges are well known today. As these are rather easy to install, this can be achieved by the average handy man.
- Such floors can be made of solid wood, particle board or fibre board.
- These floor boards are most often provided with a top surface, such as lacquer or some kind of laminate.
- the boards are most often joined by being glued together via their tongue and groove.
- the most common types of floor boards are, however, burdened with the disadvantage to form gaps of varying width between the floor boards if the installer is not thorough enough. Dirt will accumulate in such gaps. Moisture will furthermore enter the joints which will cause the core to expand in cases where it is made of solid wood, fibre board or particle board which usually is the case.
- the invention relates to a flooring material including floor boards with an essentially square, rectangular or rhomboidal shape.
- the floor boards are provided with edges, a horizontal lower side and a horizontal decorative upper surface.
- the floor boards are provided with lower joining lips at two adjacent edges while the two remaining edges are provided with upper joining lips.
- the invention is characterised in that the lower joining lips are provided with essentially vertical lower lip surfaces arranged parallel to the closest edge which lower lips surfaces are intended to interact with mainly vertical upper lip surfaces arranged on the upper joining lips.
- Two joined adjacent floor boards are hereby locked together in a horizontal direction.
- the joining lips are furthermore provided with one or more heels intended to snap-join with recesses adapted thereto which, by being provided with essentially horizontal locking surfaces, limits vertical movement between two joined adjacent floor boards.
- the joint between two floor boards joined together preferably includes fitting surfaces which are comprised by the horizontal locking surfaces on the recesses and the heels, the vertical upper lip surfaces and upper fitting surfaces.
- the joint between two floor boards joined together suitably also includes cavities.
- the heel is constituted by a resilient part which is arranged in a cavity.
- the recess is alternatively constituted by a resilient part which is arranged in a cavity.
- a resilient part may suitably be constituted by an extruded thermoplastic profile, a profile made of thermosetting resin or an extruded or a cold forged profile made of metal or the like.
- resilient parts may be handled in different ways.
- One suitable way is to pre-mount these into cavities intended for the purpose.
- the resilient part will hereby be in the correct position when the floor is to be installed.
- the material chosen will, however, be limited somewhat since some of the floor boards will have to be cut in connection to the installation as the floor board and the resilient part will have to be cut simultaneously.
- Thinner profiles made of brittle materials, such as thermosetting resins might for example shatter if cut with an ordinary fog saw, while for example steel is practically impossible to cut with such a tool.
- the floor board itself usually comprises a core of fibreboard or particleboard with a surface of thermosetting laminate the choice of cutting tools will be somewhat limited.
- thermoplastic material such as polypropylene, polyethylene, poly amide or polystyrene, advantageously containing a filler, is therefore suitable where a pre-assembled resilient part is desired.
- Pre-assembled resilient parts does suitably have a length only a bit shorter than the side on which they are mounted.
- a prevalent dimension on the floor board is 200 x 1200 mm.
- resilient part it is also possible to mount the resilient part during the installation of the floor.
- the choice of material in the resilient parts will hereby be more free as they may be manufactured in different, and shorter lengths. It hereby becomes possible to choose spring steel which will provide an excellent locking. Suitable lengths of post-assembled resilient part may be from a few centimeters to a couple of decimeters.
- the flooring material comprising the above floor board is very suited when installing floors where no glue is to be used. It is, of course, possible to utilise glue or adhesive tape to make the installation irreversibly permanent. The glue or tape is then suitably applied in, or in connection to, possible cavities before joining the floor boards.
- Floor boards according to present invention are, unlike common types of floor boards, joined by being pressed downwards.
- Commonly known floor boards are assembled horizontally by being forced or knocked together. Some known floor boards are assembled by being turned or prized into position. These known floor boards are guided vertically, and in a few cases also horizontally, on a great number of variations on the tongue-and-grove theme. It is very difficult to apply sufficient horizontal force manually at floor level whereby different types of tensioning devices are essential when installing such floors. The installer will only have to apply some of his body weight over the joint and the floor boards will snap together, when installing floors according to the present invention. It is hereby becomes possible walk the floor boards into position once they are placed correctly.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a flooring material comprising board shaped floor elements which are intended to be joined vertically.
- Prefabricated floor boards which are provided with tongue and groove at the edges are well known today. As these are rather easy to install, this can be achieved by the average handy man. Such floors can be made of solid wood, particle board or fibre board. These floor boards are most often provided with a top surface, such as lacquer or some kind of laminate. The boards are most often joined by being glued together via their tongue and groove. The most common types of floor boards are, however, burdened with the disadvantage to form gaps of varying width between the floor boards if the installer is not thorough enough. Dirt will accumulate in such gaps. Moisture will furthermore enter the joints which will cause the core to expand in cases where it is made of solid wood, fibre board or particle board which usually is the case. This expansion will cause the top surface to rise closest to the joint, which radically decreases the useful life of the floor due to increased wear on the protruding edges of the floor board. In order to avoid this type of gaps it is known to use different type of tensioning devices used for clamping the floor boards together during installation. This operation is, however, rather awkward and it is desirable to achieve a floor board with a joint which is self-orienting and thereby automatically will find its correct position. It would also be possible to use such a joint without having to use glue.
- The above mentioned problems have been solved through the present invention whereby a floor that is easy to install has been achieved. Accordingly, the invention relates to a flooring material including floor boards with an essentially square, rectangular or rhomboidal shape. The floor boards are provided with edges, a horizontal lower side and a horizontal decorative upper surface. The floor boards are provided with lower joining lips at two adjacent edges while the two remaining edges are provided with upper joining lips. The invention is characterised in that the lower joining lips are provided with essentially vertical lower lip surfaces arranged parallel to the closest edge which lower lips surfaces are intended to interact with mainly vertical upper lip surfaces arranged on the upper joining lips. Two joined adjacent floor boards are hereby locked together in a horizontal direction. The joining lips are furthermore provided with one or more heels intended to snap-join with recesses adapted thereto which, by being provided with essentially horizontal locking surfaces, limits vertical movement between two joined adjacent floor boards.
- The joint between two floor boards joined together, preferably includes fitting surfaces which are comprised by the horizontal locking surfaces on the recesses and the heels, the vertical upper lip surfaces and upper fitting surfaces. The joint between two floor boards joined together suitably also includes cavities.
- According to one embodiment of the invention the heel is constituted by a resilient part which is arranged in a cavity. The recess is alternatively constituted by a resilient part which is arranged in a cavity. Such a resilient part may suitably be constituted by an extruded thermoplastic profile, a profile made of thermosetting resin or an extruded or a cold forged profile made of metal or the like.
- These resilient parts may be handled in different ways. One suitable way is to pre-mount these into cavities intended for the purpose. The resilient part will hereby be in the correct position when the floor is to be installed. The material chosen will, however, be limited somewhat since some of the floor boards will have to be cut in connection to the installation as the floor board and the resilient part will have to be cut simultaneously. Thinner profiles made of brittle materials, such as thermosetting resins, might for example shatter if cut with an ordinary fog saw, while for example steel is practically impossible to cut with such a tool. Since the floor board itself usually comprises a core of fibreboard or particleboard with a surface of thermosetting laminate the choice of cutting tools will be somewhat limited. Aluminium, or a thermoplastic material such as polypropylene, polyethylene, poly amide or polystyrene, advantageously containing a filler, is therefore suitable where a pre-assembled resilient part is desired. Pre-assembled resilient parts does suitably have a length only a bit shorter than the side on which they are mounted. A prevalent dimension on the floor board is 200 x 1200 mm.
- It is also possible to mount the resilient part during the installation of the floor. The choice of material in the resilient parts will hereby be more free as they may be manufactured in different, and shorter lengths. It hereby becomes possible to choose spring steel which will provide an excellent locking. Suitable lengths of post-assembled resilient part may be from a few centimeters to a couple of decimeters.
- The flooring material comprising the above floor board is very suited when installing floors where no glue is to be used. It is, of course, possible to utilise glue or adhesive tape to make the installation irreversibly permanent. The glue or tape is then suitably applied in, or in connection to, possible cavities before joining the floor boards.
- Floor boards according to present invention are, unlike common types of floor boards, joined by being pressed downwards. Commonly known floor boards are assembled horizontally by being forced or knocked together. Some known floor boards are assembled by being turned or prized into position. These known floor boards are guided vertically, and in a few cases also horizontally, on a great number of variations on the tongue-and-grove theme. It is very difficult to apply sufficient horizontal force manually at floor level whereby different types of tensioning devices are essential when installing such floors. The installer will only have to apply some of his body weight over the joint and the floor boards will snap together, when installing floors according to the present invention. It is hereby becomes possible walk the floor boards into position once they are placed correctly.
- It is also possible to install the floor standing up by using very simple tools, for example a couple of rods with a suction cup at the lower ends. It would thereby be possible to install the floor without having to crawl on ones knees. Industrial injuries such as back and knee problems are very common among floor installers.

Figure 1 shows parts of a flooring material comprisingfloor boards 1. Thefloor boards 1 are provided withedges 2, a horizontallower side 5 and a horizontal upperdecorative surface 3. Thefloor boards 1 are at twoadjacent edges 2 provided with lower joining lips 10 (only one shown) while the tworemaining edges 2 are provided with upper joining lips 20 (only one shown). The lower joininglips 10 are provided with mainly verticallower lip surfaces 11 arranged parallel to theclosest edge 2. Thelower lip surfaces 1 1 are intended to interact with mainly verticalupper lip surfaces 21 arranged on the upper joininglips 20 so that two joinedadjacent floor boards 1 are locked together in a vertical direction. The joininglips heel 31 with amatching recess 32. A vertical movement between two joinedadjacent floor boards 1 is limited since therecess 32 andheel 31 respectively are provided with essentially horizontal locking surfaces. The joining surfaces are also provided with fitting surfaces 3' in order to avoid unintended gaps in the joint. The geometry of the joining edges are only shown schematically and may, of course, be changed in many ways within the scope of the invention. - According to one embodiment of a
floor board 1 according to the present invention, thefloor boards 1 includes a core which is covered with an upperdecorative surface 3. The core most often consists of wood particles or fibre bonded together with glue or resin. Since the core material is sensitive to moisture it may be advantageous to treat the area closest to the joint if the floor is to be exposed to moisture. This treatment may suitably include resin, wax or some kind of lacquer. It will not be necessary to treat the joint if thefloor boards 1 are to be glued since the glue itself will protect the joint from moisture penetration. The decorative upper surface consists of a decorative paper impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde resin. One or more layers of so called overlay paper of α-cellulose, impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde resin is suitably placed on top of the decorative paper. One or more of the above layers may be sprinkled with hard particles, of for example α-aluminum oxide, silicon carbide or silicon oxide in connection to the impregnation in order to improve the abrasion resistance. The paper impregnated with resin is cured before, or in connection to applying it to the core. The paper layers are suitably laminated together before they are applied to the core in cases where the upperdecorative surface 3 is constituted by more than one paper layers. Thelower side 5 may suitably be coated with a lacquer or a resin impregnated paper. - According to another alternative embodiment of the invention the core of the
floor board 1 is constituted by a mixture of 4 - 6 parts by weight of particles such as wood fibre, with an average particle size in the range 50µm - 3000µm which is agglomerated with 4 - 6 parts by weight of a thermoplastic polymer. The particles may partly or completely be constituted by another organic material such as bark, flax, straw, corn starch, fruit stones or the like. It is also possible to partly or completely replace the organic particles with inorganic ones such as stone dust, sand, lime, mica or the like. The thermoplastic material is suitably constituted by a poly olefin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or polybutene but can also be constituted by others such as polystyrene, acrylnitril-butadiene-styrene copolymer, poly amid, polyvinyl chloride or poly carbonate. - Additives might be added to the material in order to adapt the elastic and acoustic properties of the core to the desired one. Among such additives can mentioned ethyl-vinyl-acetate, di-ethyl-phthalate, di-isobutyl-phthalate or epoxidated organic oils.
- Among possible upper surfaces to the core specified above may be mentioned thermosetting laminates including at least a decorative paper impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde resin. Overlay paper and hard particles may be added to this as described earlier in the present application. The upper decorative surface may also be constituted by an acrylic foil, an acrylic lacquer and combinations thereof. It might also be constituted by a foil or a lacquer of poly olefins or poly olefin derivatives. An adhesion problem between the different materials included in the floor board might occur in certain combinations. It is possible to overcome these problems which normally present themselves as de-lamination problems, low impact strength or blistering, by adding 0.01 - 1 part of dendritic macromolecules with a combination of chain terminators adapted to the characteristic materials of the floor board in order to increase the chemical bond between the different materials. It is also possible to coat a decorative surface with an acrylic lacquer containing, or being sprinkled with, hard particles of α-aluminum oxide, silicon carbide or silicon oxide. The coating is most often achieved through use of a roller or through curtain coating. Among suitable acrylic lacquers can be mentioned radiation curing ones which are cured with electron beam or ultraviolet light forming free radicals in the uncured lacquer.
- The
figures 2a and 2b show a second embodiment of the invention.Figure 2a shows in cross-section theadjacent edges 2 of two floor boards before joining whilefigure 2b shows the same after being joined. The embodiment shown is mainly the same as the one shown infigure 1 . The embodiment shown infigure 2a - b is, however, in addition provided with cavities 6 (fig. 2b ) and aresilient part 7. Thecavities 6 can for example be found in the finished joint between the contact surfaces that are formed between the horizontal locking surfaces on therecess 32 and theheel 31, the verticalupper lip surface 21 and thelower lip surface 1 1 together with the upper fitting surfaces 3' . Theresilient part 7 is placed in acavity 6. Theresilient part 7 forms a resilient recess 23 and a resilientlower lip surface 1 1. Thecavities 6 reduces the negative effects loose particles might have, which loose particles otherwise might cause undesired gaps in the upper part of the joint. The cross-section geometry of the joint is only shown schematically focusing on the interaction between the different surfaces in order to facilitate understanding of the invention. Then invention is not limited to the embodiment as it can be varied within the scope of the invention. - The
figures 3a and 3b show another embodiment of the invention.Figure 3a shows, in cross-section theadjacent edges 2 of twofloor boards 1 before joining whilefigure 3b shows the same after joining. The embodiment shown infigure 3a - b is essentially the same as the one shown infigure 1 . The embodiment shown infigure 3a - b is however also provided with cavities 6 (fig. 3b ). Thecavities 6 can for example be found in the finished joint between the contact surfaces that are formed between the horizontal locking surfaces on therecess 32 and theheel 31, the verticalupper lip surface 21 and thelower lip surface 1 1 together with the upper fitting surfaces 3'.
